It will be a warm, windy day today across the state.
The
National Weather Service said high pressure will remain in control through Sunday. A storm system will make a run at the southern Plains, bringing a chance of precipitation to the state Monday and Tuesday.
Temperatures are expected to moderate but stay on the mild side.
On Friday, clear skies and southerly winds helped temperatures soar to above-average levels. Daytime highs ranged from 76 degrees in
Hobart and
Oklahoma City to 90 degrees in Gage, according to the weather service.
The mercury peaked at 79 degrees in
Enid,
Frederick and
Tulsa.
The wildfire potential will remain high to very high across parts of the state today as strong, gusty winds not only draw moisture from the
Gulf of Mexico northward but also dry out vegetation.
Skies should be sunny today and Sunday, with temperatures topping out in the 70s and 80s today and the 70s on Sunday, forecasters said. Lows tonight should fall into the 40s and 50s.
Mostly cloudy conditions are expected by Monday, along with a slight chance of showers. Daytime highs should cool into a range from the upper 50s in the Panhandle to the 70s in eastern
Oklahoma, forecasters said.
Lows in the 40s and 50s are predicted for Monday night. A slight chance of showers will linger on Tuesday as temperatures settle in the 60s for highs. Lows should range from the upper 30s in the Panhandle to around 50 in southeast Oklahoma Tuesday night.
Highs could reach the 60s and 70s on Wednesday. Lows may tumble into the 30s and 40s Wednesday night.
